http://www.newsday.com/travel/camp-santanoni-in-the-adirondacks-reclaiming-its-gilded-age-glory-1.5883421   Good to promote our history and hesitage!  And in a national paper.  Good work!Then the article was picked up by the Hudson Valley Connisseur, “The region’s authority on refined living.”  A friend of mine from Saugerties gave me a copy of the article.

Thanks Mitch Edelstein for bringing this to our attention. http://www.newsday.com/travel/new-york-s-adirondacks-offer-plenty-of-fall-foliage-1.6010193

It’s interesting to note that the word “vacation” comes from the fact that the wealthy during the Gilded Age period in American history left or vacated the dirt and heat of the city and headed north to the coolness of the mountains and wilderness….hence vacation!  Read all about the birthplace of the American vacation on the link below.  Nice press for our own beloved Great Camp Sagamore. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/Where-Was-the-Birthplace-of-the-American-Vacation-199170351.html?c=y&page=3
